Hi there!

We are given the equation:
x² - 2y = 7
To verify if each ordered pair is apart of the function, we can plug in their respective x and y values:
1. (5)² - 2(8) = 7
25 - 16 = 9 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.
2. (-1)² - 2(-3) = 7
1 + 6 = 7. This is correct.
3. (-4)² - 2(-11.5) = 7
16 + 23 = 39 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.
4. (1.2)² - 2(-2.78) = 7
1.44 +5.56 = 7. This is correct.
Thus, only 1 and 4 are the correct answers.

Step-by-step explanation:
B
Answer:
There are 15 numbers of chicken and 25 numbers of bulls.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pen had chickens and bulls. The pen contains 40 animals in total. The number of legs in the pen is 130 .
Let
a = number of chicken
b = number of bull
a + b = 40................(i)
A chicken has 2 legs and a bull has 4 legs.
The total legs can be represented as
2a + 4b = 130...........(ii)
combine the equation
a + b = 40................(i)
2a + 4b = 130...........(ii)
a = 40 - b
insert the value of a in equation(ii)
2(40 - b) + 4b = 130
80 - 2b + 4b = 130
80 + 2b = 130
2b = 130 - 80
2b = 50
divide both sides by 2
b = 50/2
b = 25
Insert the value of b in equation (i)
a + b = 40
a + 25 = 40
a = 40 - 25
a = 15
There are 15 numbers of chicken and 25 numbers of bulls.
